In the 20 years following OPEC, the US oil and gas industry was significantly shaped by conflicting policies created in a chaotic, politically-charged environment. Those policies resulted in a drastic decline in activity in the industry, concerns about ‘energy independence’ and increases in imports to approximately 60% of US demand for crude by 2008. With the advent and wider-implementation of new exploration and production technologies, specifically horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, this picture has been altered. Come learn more from Dr. Lorna Greening, who is co-editor of "Energy Policy," an international peer-reviewed journal addressing the policy implications of energy supply and use from their economic, social, planning and environmental aspects. In addition to her responsibilities with the journal she is an economic consultant and researcher based in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
